 Lilly- senior- highlight- it’s good to see her friends again 


Lucy-freshman- highlight- We didn’t die. Varsity football won. Her team went 1-1in games barley losing in the fifth set.The morning was rough and didn’t go as she was hoping. She did the best she could, put on a happy face and things for better.


Daryl- 5th grade -highlight- His teacher is really nice and she doesn’t really believe in homework, only at home reading. 


Ruth- 3rd grade-highlight-just going to school. 




Beth- kindergarten…almost. It starts Wednesday. She’s excited. Mom’s interested in how she will get along with her teacher. It’s the same teacher Ruth and Daryl had. It will be fine, right? 

Glen started his sixth year as an administrator. Highlight-In the first week he had a surprise meeting with the district superintendent about the AV system that was put in the school. (That company is trying to sell the system to the district for other schools.They were smart and gifted the system to Glen’s school.) 

Kayci -enjoying three more weeks of having no school. -not so much highlight- meeting Mr.McGuckus (Daryl named it) the mouse that comes in and out of the food bin for the goats. I don’t like mice. … I accidentally squished it later in the week when I opened the bin and haven’t seen it since. I think that is a sorry not sorry thing. I don’t think I could have done that if I was trying.

I just like your kids so much! Ruth's answers to the getting to know you questionnaire made me want to hang out with her. I'm so glad you'll have a few days to yourself before you start school again. This is a big transition for your family having EVERYONE in school--and at home. It will fly!

Your mouse moment is the one I sympathise with totally. I also love the picture of Daryl and his little sister.

Love the school highlights. You have a senior!! I feel like we are so close to many of the same things going on. I am just starting my 5th year teaching - Glen is just ahead of me in admin. And then your oldest two are just a year ahead of my youngest two. Fun things! Sorry about the mouse. I loved how you explained your feelings about it :)

I watched this video and it sealed the deal on this post. I have all sorts of things I could write about, but this has been at the front of my mind for a while. I have really been affected this past year by the divorces of two different couples I know. Not that, I haven't known any one before that has gotten divorced. These have just hit closer to home. One of them is Glen's boss, and Glen has worked with him lately. (This is not the norm. He can go months with out seeing him. He just goes in to work, sees what he's doing that night and goes out.) In working with him, they have talked about stuff and something he said to Glen has really made me think. I wasn't there but it was something to the extent of, "You guys are so lucky, because you love each other, just really love each other." My first thought to this was- yes, yes we do. Then I thought how sad that he and not every married couple have that. The just of all of this rambling is that I love my ...

My cup with blessings overflows

By
 I am trying to get back in the habit of blogging. Before I go to bed, even though I should be in bed here are blessings from this week. I don’t know it I will remember them all there were so many.  Being home to attend church with our ward.  Talks from two sister in our ward, Louisa Jones who is a brand new young woman and Holly Draney who is the Primary President, on Sister Kristin Yee’s conference talk, that complimented each other well.  They reminded me that God is in the details and even when mistakes are made he can use it to help us learn and bless us. Louisa talked about how she was mad when her parents decided they should move a few years ago but Heavely Father has made it work out. Holly brought up the definitions of the words possibility and joy. She also talked about repairing quilts that had things happen to them. Also a talk from Matt Reeves about the power of the priesthood and how it has blessed his life and has preserved his life.  A great less...

Head to the hills- July 7-14

By
Good things from this week were- Getting dirt to fill the planter box Daryl made for Grandpa Richins. It’s ready for him to use now!  Getting ready for girls camp. Watching Lucy play volleyball in a tournament at UVU with high school team girls. It’s crazy that is her last one as a high school player.  Eating dinner on the roof and watching the sunset. Girls camp, even the one bad part.  Showering after girls camp Sunday dinner at Larry and Janene's and playing with the whip These cool plants were at the nursery we got soil from. I think I might want some in my yard.  Lucy played in a volleyball tournament at UVU with the high school team.  Lucy thought eating on the roof would be a good idea one night so we could watch the sunset better. She was right. Though Ruth but mostly Beth got pretty comfortable exploring up there. My mom safety barometer went quite high till they got down.  The Oquirrh Mountain temple fit right between the trees for a perfect view....
